Important Florida PTA Alert Regarding HB7069 Education Accountability

Parents and community members – Please continue to contact your legislators to share your concerns around the K-12 assessments and accountability issues affecting our children and schools.

Florida PTA encourages the House and Senate to continue to work together to address this important issue.  Florida PTA recommends that the Legislature:

• Allow for proper field-testing and test development in areas with similar demographics to Florida’s diverse demographics;
• Suspend  the issuance of school letter grades until performance data has been deemed reliable;
• Allow for additional testing and calculation flexibility to students with disabilities and students who speak limited English; and
• Use multiple years of a new exam as a baseline for generating school grades and teacher evaluations.
